About this app

Developer Description

This is the new Wear OS application for Insta 360 cameras (Basic version)

This application basically connects to your Insta 360 camera through Wifi connection and lets you capture photos using your Wear OS watch as a remote control.

IMPORTANT: It is only useful with a Wear OS watch. (not compatible with other watches using Tizen or other operating systems)

It can optionally show live view while you control your Insta 360 camera.

This is the basic (free) version with limited features. There is also a pro version with following additional features:
- Live View with gesture control
- Video Capture
- Battery Level Display
- HDR and Normal (photo & video) capture options

The app is tested on Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 with Insta 360 X2 camera.
Please use the free basic version with your Wear OS watch and Insta camera before purchasing the pro version.

IMPORTANT note for wifi connectivity issues with differen watch brands/models:
For the app to control your Insta 360 camera, your watch should be able to conneect to the camera's wifi connection. (SSID ending with .OSC and password is usually 88888888 for various Insta 360 cameras, at least correct for One X2 and One R)
Some watch models do not support 5 Ghz wifi, and the cameras mostly use 5 Ghz. In such case, you have to force the camera to 2.4Ghz wifi.
You can find information about this if you search like "How can I force Insta 360 camera to 2.4 ghz wifi only"

Actually works. Using Samsung Galaxy watch 5 pro and ultra 23 phone. Had to switch watch wifi to insta360 device but it works. Allows you to see camera view on the watch. Will test out pro version now that I know basic works. Basic is camera preview and photo button.

Any chance of adding Insta360 One R support?

Hi! Using your app with Insta360 X5 and Galaxy Watch 4 - the watch connects to the camera Wi-Fi but still shows “Not connected”. Do I need to enable Proxy Mode? I noticed the X5 always broadcasts in 5 GHz (5180 MHz). The Watch 4 only supports 2.4 GHz. Tried switching the Wifi(5G <-> 2.4G) toggle in Developer Mode and resetting Network Config Only, but no change. Any tip?

Did not work for me. Shows not connected...even after connecting to the X5's wifi. The camera connects, but nothing is shown on the watch (Samsung Watch 7).
